    Oil Filter For 302 - Fl1a Or Fl300?

    I always used FL1A, my 78 owners manual spec's FL-1, with 5 qts oil. However, every other resource (including Ford) seems to specify the short filter, Motorcraft FL-300. I know either will work, wondered if there is some advantage to the FL-300 (other than clearance). Maybe better flow? The...

    Wtb: '78 D7zc9104aa Aux Fuel Tank

    Looking for either rust free (has a metal filler tube inside), or NOS. My aux tank has developed rust through in the metal neck inside the plastic tank. It's been garaged for close to twelve years (with occasional drives, but that's all), and I guess condensation caused this. The metal part...

    Fuel injection motor heads on carb motor?

    Can anyone tell me if 90's efi heads will work on an older motor, like a '78? I know they will bolt up, but how well will they work? I've looked all over the web, and the popular opinion is they work ok. I would think the efi heads would have different sized valves and chamber, but I am not an...
